What would be the major concern or risk of using some RTV or silicone sealant spread over the area that is cracked? My Hammer spent its first 5 years (and barely 1000 miles a year) in covered but open parking (not a sealed garage) so the throttle boddy appears to have a little dry rot with some very thin cracks near the top, but I have no issues or problems at all in starting/idle/acceleration/etc. I cleaned the carbon out about 800 miles ago while the tank was off for painting.
Are they completely separating beyond a simple repair? Or is even a small crack in the rubber giving people problems? I'm getting nervous of having an issue based on comments with extended downtime and am thinking a little smear of silicone sealant around the hairline cracks area may provide extended life. Opinions?
Well some guys have used silicone but the problem is that these are rotting and getting cracks so to me its a design flaw but never the less if victory doesnt want to do anything about it atleast have the parts available so the guys that want to replace them can.I guess i am the only one who wants to get this part because polaris dosent know there is a stocking problem.keep up the good customer support lol.
I have part # 1203277 in stock. Including the new o-ring which I recommend you replace aswell. Let me know if interested.
